About Annual Dinner

Celebrate the accomplishments of all women in business

Capital W invites you to join us for our 2019 Annual Dinner held at Doltone House Hyde Park. This year’s theme, ‘She Means Business’, celebrates the achievement of women in industry, inspiring women to ascertain opportunities today and encouraging women to continue to take meaningful and transformative action in the workplace.

The Annual Dinner is Capital W’s flagship event, where attendees gain valuable insight into a wide range of industries, meet like-minded individuals and are inspired by the experiences of female business leaders, with a keynote address from our prominent guest speaker.
